The George Washington Masonic Lodge survived the burning of Chambersburg during the Civil War, but now it's having trouble surviving the test of time.
The roof of Masonic Lodge 143 on North Second Street is literally caving in.
The building was constructed in 1816, but the Masons say it was saved when several Confederate soldiers stood guard around it while their comrades burned the town.
The organization says they could relocate to another property, but that option is not on the table at this point.
